The Spring ME-NH trawl survey conducted by the State of Maine, Department of Marine Resources is scheduled to begin April 29, 2024 in New Hampshire working east to Lubec. The more information we have regarding our fisheries, the better equipped we are to defend these resources and your livelihoods. The ME-NH trawl survey provides valuable information for the management of important commercially harvested species. Failure to complete the proposed tows could jeopardize the use of our data for state and federal lobster and finfish management. To address this, we will be increasing our efforts to move gear within the published tows.

*You can avoid the need for our Marine Patrol to handle gear by clearing an area of gear 1/8th mile on either side of the 1 nautical mile towline for day of the tow.  *

Latitude/Longitude and TD coordinates for Tow Locations (pair of dots with a line on the chart mark each tow) and schedules can be found at the following link [link removed] and/or by using your smartphone to access the QR code below:
